GOV. sTEvENsoN,s PRECEDENT

The appropriating OF Governor For
aker's inaugural message by Governor
Stevenson OF Nevada, has precedent in
the case of Jim Farley, late United
States Senator from California. In 1855
jim was elected Speaker OF the Assembly,
and at the close OF the session delivered
very fine valedictory address. Jim was
Know Nothing, and the next morning
the Democratic State journal, published
at Sacramento, printed the speech and
also alongside of it in the same column,
both in half measure, the valedictory
Of ex-Speaker Wall, delivered two
years previously. The two were pre-
cisely the same. The Carson cores
pondent OF the Virginia New Chronicle
is, however, mistaken in saying that
Farley disarmed all criticism by the good
humored manner in which he acknowl-
edged the plagiarism. On the contrary,
he was exceedingly sore and sensitive
about it, and it was not safe for even his
best friends to Gosh" him upon the sub
ject. 1t shelved him politically for a
number Of years, but he outlived it and
was elected several times to the State
Senaje from his county, before going to
Washington as United States Senator.
There was excellent reason for be-
lieving that Jim Coffroth, who
was then State Senator from
Southern mining country, was the
culprit in the affair. Farley and Cofforth
were ostensibly warm personal and polit-
cal friends, and it was always supposed
that the former entrusted the latter with
the writing OF his speech. Farley was a
candidate for Congress in his party, as
was also Cofforth, although his candidacy
was at that time unknown to Farley.
Cofforth was considerable of a humorist
as well as politician, and it is probable
that spirit OF fun as we'll as a desire to
remove from his Congressional path
a dangerous opponent, prompted his
treacherous act Both of them are
now dead but the chances are il
they meet in the other world that ghostly
courteses are not interchanged nor
phantom hands extended in friendly
greeting. If Governor Stevenson lives
long enough, he, too, may 80 the United
States Senate. Ii he does it is to be
hoped that his recent experience will
teach him to be more careful in the selec-
ton OF his speech-writers.

reasons assigned for the failure to achieve
the anticipated victory. Probably the
bunRling work Of the Conference Com
mttee upon the Tucker bill lost to the
Liberal ticket a sufficient number of
votes to have turned the nearly balanced
scales. 1t doubtless lost for it the wa
vering Mormors who were waiting for such
Congressional action as would protect
them from the persecution OF the priest
hood, before uniting themselves politi-
cally with the opposition to the Church
and State party. There was also con-
siderable dissatisfaction manifested at
the disproportionate allotment made
by the Liberal Convention as be-
tween the two loyal political par
ties in making the nominations.
1t was claimed that but two, or at most
three, OF the nominees were Democrats,
while The other eleven or twelve were
active and pronounced Republicans, some
Of whom It was claimed were so bitterly
partisan chat they refused to vote for
Colonel w. NJ. Ferry for Delegate
to Congress, and were identified
with the little clique which voted
for District Attorney Dickson. The uni
formity of the vote for the different Lib
eral candidates, however, indicates that
while realizing the unfairness in the dis
tribution, the Democrats did not permit
it to drive them from the path Of duty,
but that they took their medicine
like men and voted the entire
ticket. 1t is quite certain, however,
that more equitable distribution would
have been more satisfactory to the fair
minded voters of both parties, and added
generally 10 the strength of the ticket.
Perhaps, however, the lesson will not be
lost, and that in future united action a
less discriminating policy in that respect
will be pursued.

HAUNTED HOUSES.

Mention in yesterdays DEMOCRAT, OF a
reputed haunted house in the city, re-
minds one Of the almost universal belief
in, and instructive dread of, disembodied
spirits which haunt their former dwelling
places. Remorseful spirits OF criminals
and the avenging ghosts Of their victims
who have been sent "unanointed, unan-
nealed," into the presence OF their
Maker, may be especially brought face to
face in their midnight wandering at the
scene OF earthly crime. The wife of
Caesar appealed to his belief of the super
natural when she sought to work upon
his fears by telling him that "Ghosts did
Shrek and cry with pain about the
streets" There are old houses in Salt
Lake which have the taint of violence
about them. In the days OF the ere
formation" when all outsiders were
enemies. and when brutal men, in the
name of religion, stabbed true woman
hood to the heart, what denominations
were perpetrated in many OF these sin
stained adobes. No wonder that uneasy
ghosts, like that OF Hamlet's father,
"doom'd for certain term to walk the
night" are forced to face those OF their
victims in their nightly wanderings
amid the scenes and within the walls
which were silent witnesses OF their
crimes. Every great city and many
quiet country place bear witness tc
secret crimes which attract uneasy spirits
OF the dead-criminals and victims-to
the telltale spot OF their earthly crimes.
But if at the dead waste and middle of
the night" the spirits OF murderer and
murdered walk the earth, so al so may
ministering and loving messengers from
the spirital realm visit the scenes of their
earthly life. "Whilst this muddy vesture
OF decay doth grossly close it in," the
soul may not be sensitive to the touch OF
these ministering spirits, but that they do
so walk the earth is the teaching OF rea-
son and revelation,

STILL HANGING FIRE.

The Tucker bill is still hanging fire in
the Conference Committee, at least SO
far as is known here at this writing
Since it became generally understood
that the most vital portions OF
the bill had been eliminated
by the committee there has been less
interest manifested in the final dsposi-
ton OF the measure. There is a
general feeling here, among the
really patriotic, unselfish and sin
cere Gentiles of whatever party,
that they have been sold out or traded
off in some interest, although what in
terest it is, or at whose instance the dirty
work was consummated, there are a
variety OF opinions. Time will most
certainly develop the facts, when the
guilty parties will be held up to the
execration of every loyal man, woman
and child throughout the length and
breadth OF the Territory. When the bill
passed the House, where the people here
had been taught to believe the only dam
ger existed, the most confident
feeling prevailed that the patriotic
labor OF years would soon be accom-
plished, and that daylight was about to
dawn upon this benighted, priest-ridden
and most unhappy region. The bill
has received blow, and a fatal one,
from source the least expected,
and the feelings OF its friends
are depressed to far greater depth than
if it had, been dealt by the hands OF those
whom they had been schooled to regard
as their greatest enemies, but who have
proven themselves to be their best
and most steadfast friends. The
result will not, perhaps, be barren
OF good in the future. 1t will at least
awaken the Gentiles OF Utah to a realiza-
tion of the insincerity of some OF those,
upon whom they have hitherto relied to
head the procession of reform, but who
have led them to an orchard OF Dead Sea
apples the worthlessness OF whose cores
are not even hidden by fair and whole
some surfaces.

THE Sunset organ of the Church init
mates, with a knowing wink Of the
prophetic eye, that the Saints have con-
sidered the test-oatl, and now that the
short cut of appointments to office has
been eliminated from the Tucker-E Ed
munds bill, they are content with the ar
rangement. That sufficient force will
be detailed in cow-county precincts to
take the oath and carry the Church
ticket is morally certain. Perjury will
not stand in the way when political power
is at stake.

THE "STAR OF BETHLEHEM. "

This is the year in which the brilliant
star, named the "Star OF Bethlehem" )" is
to appear in the heavens. In 1872, Tyco
Brahe, the famous Danish astronomer,
noted the sudden appearance of a blazing
star in the immediate neghborhood OF
the constellation Cassiopeia, which, in
brlliance, exceeded that of any
other star in our heavens. 1t
seemed that, at or about the birth
of Christ, a star appeared OF such bright
ness that it was visible to the naked eye
when the sun was shining brightly at
MONDAY. 1t disappeared shortly after.
At intervals from three to four hundred
years apart, it has made its appearance,
attracting every eye for a brief season,
and then vanished in the far-off realm of
infinite space
The great telescopes which now sweep
the heavens at various points around the
world, as nights sable mantle closes
down on the setting sun, will, from this
time on be directed to that quarter OF
the heavens where the "Star OF Bethle-
hem" last blazed in 1872. Tyco Brahe
says: Zone evening, as | was surveying
as usual the celestial vault, the aspect OF
which is 50 familiar TO me- | saw with
indescribable astonishment, near the
zenith, in Cassiopeia, radiant star Of
extraordinary size"
From the remotest periods OF recorded
time, men have gazed with awe
and veneration at the stars in their
courses. Superstition, religion and
science have successiyely attempted to
read the lessons OF the gittering sky,
and each has acknowledged it's in
ability to grasp the wondrous whole, or
to understand the weighty secret OF
the orderly procession OF worlds, as
to the law OF the mighty
architect, they 90 their appointed way.
The old doc me Of astrology which con
nected every mans life and destiny with
the planets in our system, still fingers in

IDs quotation from Tyco Brahe given
lbuye is from long and interesting arti- /
lie in the New York Herald, which con-
,ludes as follows:

THE OGDEN ELECTION.

The result OF the municipal election at
Ogden yesterday is matter OF the deep
est regret to all law-abidng people
throughout the entire Territory. II is
intensified by the uncertainty, or rather
the improbability, OF such legislation
during the present session of Congress as
will wrest the political power in Utah
from the hands of those who have
so long and effectually welded it
in antagonism to the principles OF Re-
publican institutions, and TO the exclusion
OF every person from Office who would
perform his duties faithfully, and in

ssrhe Trouble i'm the Line.,,

s0che TrOabke I'm the Linesc
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Referring to the "troube In the nner on Thurs
day beg permission to state the case from my
standpoint. In assigning the various organiza.
tions to their respective positions in the line l
took for my guide the arrangement made by Genl
Sheridan at the dedication OF the Washington
monument In February, 1885.
This arrangement, as Will be seen by reference
to general orders, No. 4, headquarters marshal of
Cadets and CorcOran Cadets to positions In rear OF
the coiored organizations. At the suggestion of Col
8. E. Blunt, A. ID. c. TO Gen1 Sheridan, the Ma
tfonal Rifles were assigned to position following
the Union veteran Corps, but, by an oversight, he
did not advise advancing the two cadet corps The
High school Cadets did not take part In the parade
and Capt. Edwards, on receipt OF copy OF the Or
OF the column claiming priority over the Wash
ington Cadet corps l at once referred the matter
to Gen1 Albert Ordway, who agreed with Capt
Edwards and said their proper place was, by pri-
OriJy OF organization, in advance OF the COnti-
nentais at once directed Capt. Edwards to take
the position LETT vacant by the absence OF the
National Rifles but in the hurry of attention to
officer OF the Conttnentals The courtesy OF Capt.
Edwards and the discipline Of bis command In
yielding position to which 1t had been assigned
deserve high praise.
In justice to Capt. Mills commanding the Con-
ttnentals. it is true that he followed the printed
order, and If he had received an order to take
position in rear OF the Corcoran Cadets, would
doubtless have obeyed it willingly. 1t follows
that take upon myself the blame for the misun-
derstanding, and hope it will cause no Ill feeling
among the members OF the two organizations
